ICD10 code of Henoch-Schönlein purpura and ICD9 code

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a type of vasculitis, which involves inflammation of the blood vessels. It primarily affects small blood vessels in the skin, joints, intestines, and kidneys. The ICD-10 code for Henoch-Schönlein purpura is D69.0. This code falls under the category of "Other primary thrombocytopenia," which refers to conditions characterized by low platelet counts.

In the previous ICD-9 coding system, Henoch-Schönlein purpura was represented by code 287.0. It was classified under the category of "Purpura and other hemorrhagic conditions," which encompassed various bleeding disorders.

Henoch-Schönlein purpura typically presents with a distinctive rash called purpura, which appears as small, reddish-purple spots on the skin. Other common symptoms include joint pain, gastrointestinal issues like abdominal pain or bloody stools, and kidney inflammation. This condition is more prevalent in children, often following an upper respiratory tract infection.

While the ICD codes provide a standardized way of classifying medical diagnoses, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis. They will evaluate the patient's symptoms, medical history, and perform necessary tests to confirm Henoch-Schönlein purpura or any other medical condition.
